Chapter 158: A New Job (Medium)
Dante's concern about his lack of competitiveness was still somewhat justified, and by the time it was his turn to interview, seven or eight more applicants had already arrived. Except for the two middle-aged aunts, everyone else looked younger than him, energetic, and ambitious, about the same kind of person as the young man who had just left after the interview. Is it because people are enthusiastic now, or is the talent market saturated? Walking out of the meeting room, the question flashed through his mind.
"Hello. "Hello, please be seated. You're Shang Yiming, aren't you?" The person in charge of the interview was a woman in her fifties, who wore glasses and flipped through Dante's resume, and read a page very seriously, a bit like a teacher correcting homework. Dante knew that on that page was his work history. It's an old lady, hehe, fortunately I shaved my beard clean, I don't know if you can add some impression to me.
Originally, at the publishing house, the director of human resources there was also a woman about the same age as the person in charge of the interview, and there was a rumor among the young editors of the publisher that this old lady treated young people of different genders differently. The little girl went to the personnel office to look for her, she did not look at people with serious eyes, and her tone was also very horizontal, whether they were for business or private affairs, except for the procedures that must be done according to the rules, she was perfunctory in other links; if it was a young man who went to him, or a very tall or handsome kind, she must be full of smiles, extremely enthusiastic, and the highest efficiency, and she knew everything she knew and said when she asked her questions. Dante was at first suspicious of this legend, but the editor-in-chief sent him twice to the personnel office to inquire about the old woman, and the first time he went there was a beard and a mustache on his lips, and the director probably treated him as a woman, as his colleagues had said about the little girl. The second time I went, just in time for him to shave his beard for only three days, the melon seed face was very clean, with those big eyes, naturally much more handsome than the first time, and the personnel director saw him although he still had a straight face, not too excited, but the words were very kind and friendly, and the answers to his questions were also very detailed, and finally asked with concern, "I understand", and saw Dante "ah" in a daze, and patiently explained the main points to him again. Dante said "goodbye" to her as respectfully before leaving, as she had done last time, and she finally smiled and responded, "Well, goodbye." ”
"I see what it says on your resume, you used to work as a copy editor in a publishing house and a cultural company, and you mainly did the work of writing, editing, proofreading, and entering texts, right?" asked the woman in charge of the interview, putting his resume aside. "Yes. "Do you know what kind of organization we are?" "You know, it's a voluntary public welfare help group. "Why do you want to join our organization?" On the one hand, personally, my previous job was to stuff myself in a room and chew on words, and my exposure to social aspects was too narrow, and my social experience and interpersonal skills were insufficient. I think that I will be deeply exposed to many people and things in the society, some of which are difficult to contact in other places, and I can get inspiration and exercise from them while working hard for these people and these things, of course, because I work hard. On the other hand, it's always good to be able to help others, and I think it's very rewarding to help others and improve myself. ”
"Good, good. The person in charge of the interview said two "yes" in a row, "It's good that you have such an idea." But I would like to ask, when you used to work, did you deal with anyone other than your colleagues?" I also have to contact the author to make an appointment and urge the manuscript, and sometimes readers write to ask about something, and I am responsible for replying to them to answer. "Anything else?" "Well, that's the main thing. "Have you ever solicited advertising sponsorship for publishers and companies, and negotiated cooperation with sponsors?" "This ...... No. "In addition to your expertise, in other ...... For example, in the areas of health care and law, do you have any knowledge and skills that can be applied?", "No ......", "Have you participated in public service activities before?", "I have planted trees. "It's Arbor Day, right?" "I mean, going to a nursing home to take care of the elderly, or going to a hospital to help care for a disabled child. "Nope. "You graduated from Normal University, and it seems that you have never been a teacher...... "Well, you haven't been." "I haven't been an amateur?" "I haven't, but I did an internship when I was in college......" "Hmm." ”
The person in charge thought for a few seconds, looked at Dante and asked, "If you join our rescue service center, what kind of work do you want to do?" Dante felt like a question, and replied stubbornly: "If I can be hired, I think I should give full play to my professional expertise." Write the text materials we need, proofread and enter the manuscript, and I can also help sort out our documents......" "We are not a publishing house, and we may not have as much text work to deal with as you think. The person in charge interrupted him, "We are not going to assign a person to be responsible for things like writing materials and revising drafts." The documents we are going to use here are all the medical, legal, and educational programs that I just mentioned to you, do you think you can manage them well?" "I have managed a lot of manuscripts in publishing houses, and I have experience in this area. For these areas that I did not know before, I am willing to seize all the time to make up the corresponding knowledge, improve my business ability, and manage the documents related to them well. Dante heard the contempt in the other man's words, and said loudly with anger in his heart.
The female person in charge in her fifties sighed and said, "Actually, our organization is about action. You just said that doing good deeds and putting good ideas of helping others into action is the real good deed. Therefore, at present, we need our personnel to devote themselves to the practice of public welfare, and use their hands or brains to solve problems for our rescuers, rather than just doing some auxiliary work. This requires that our personnel should have some skills that can be used in the rescue process. To put it simply, at this stage we are recruiting people because they can help our people in practical actions. Do you understand?"
"I understand that I can do it. Dante said firmly. "Think about it again. The person in charge came back without humility or arrogance.
